Abstract

Read online

Detection of the most frequently bacteria involved in prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is usually performed by conventional cultures. We report a case of early PJI due to Ureaplasma urealyticum, diagnosed by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, which highlights the interest of molecular methods if fastidious bacteria are involved in PJI. Keywords: Prosthetic joint infection, Ureaplasma urealyticum, 16S rRNA gene, Molecular diagnosis
